Goccia

Pit Bull Terrier · Female · Senior · 10 years

(Data di nascita: Giugno 2016) La nostra adorata mascotte, Goccia è una Femmina di Pitbull di taglia medio grande (26 kg). Ne ha passate tante, e tante ne ha superate. Una positività asintomatica alla leishmaniosi, e un tumore dal quale è guarita, la costringono a controlli semestrali. È brava al guinzaglio e in macchina. Ha un carattere dolce ed entra subito in sintonia con le persone. Con i suoi simili a volte risulta un po’ irruenta, ma non ha mai dato segno di aggressività. Non compatibile con altri animali, per lei cerchiamo una persona speciale che voglia accoglierla come “figlia unica”.

About Goccia

What life with Goccia looks like

Goccia is a large senior pit bull terrier dog waiting at UAI Rifugio Animali Abbandonati in Italy.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇮🇹Adopting from Italy

Italian canili require adopters to sign a stewardship contract (affido) and may retain the right to verify the animal's wellbeing post-adoption. Animals are chipped and sterilized before leaving (Legge 281/91). Public canili rifugio typically waive adoption fees.

Frequently asked

Adopting Goccia, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Goccia?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. UAI Rifugio Animali Abbandonati handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Goccia on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Goccia if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — UAI Rifugio Animali Abbandonati will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Goccia already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Goccia isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with UAI Rifugio Animali Abbandonati early rather than rehoming privately; they know Goccia and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (IT). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
